Emotional intelligence enables you to make better decisions based on what you are feeling under a given situation. It also helps to connect to others in ways that show that you care about them and the way they feel. Having a high EQ enables you to identify and control your emotions in a positive way, thus enhancing effective communication. A person with a greater EQ is able to cope with the daily stresses and struggles of life, and neutralize any potential conflicts, even as they continually empathize with others around them.
